Flannel Birdies!

We've had sunshine the last couple of days. And then this morning the dark clouds and the rain were back. {sigh} I wish I could somehow change my thought processes so that I could look outside and enjoy being cozy inside instead of feeling oppressed and depressed by the weather.

On a happier note, I believe I am done swapping out the dark ties on my Lincoln Logs quilt. I didn't take all of them out, but enough to make their presence less noticeable.

I still have to figure out what I'm going to use to bind this beast. It will definitely be a regular cotton, not flannel. Before I put the flannel away I couldn't resist the urge to try making a couple of birds out of the littlest scraps. I like them!

They still need eyes and hanging loops.

I also sewed up this postcard foundation.

I've signed up to participate in the 2010 Bead Journal Project and thought I might warm those muscles up by making a postcard a month between now and when the Project officially begins in January. If you're interested in the Project you can see what others have been doing here. There's still time to sign up too!

Your birds always turn out cute. You get so much done. It's amazing. I am home all day and don't get too much done myself. Having a husband home 24/7 doesn't help but I think that's just my excuse. (I'm on the computer too much really).

About Me

On good days you'll probably find me piecing quilt blocks or assembling a quilt for someone. I like to exercise my artistic muscles in other ways too though, so don't be surprised to find a bit of bead embroidery or an art quilt (or something else altogether) in this blog. The bad days are usually a result of my having run into invisible vapors somewhere that my body can't handle anymore. (There's more about that on the page labeled "More About Me.") I hope you enjoy your visit and let me know you were here :- )
